Dr. Saleema Rehman, a 29-year-old refugee, tells ELLE.com: “Whatever happens in Afghanistan next, we must do more to foster opportunities and successes like mine.”
Like millions of others globally, I am an Afghan citizen who has never been to my homeland. In 1917, my great-grandfather fled Turkmenistan during the Russian Revolution to northern Afghanistan. After finding safety there, he settled and had a family, including a son—my grandfather. Although he also died young, he too had a son—my father. When war broke out in Afghanistan in 1979, my father, only 13 years old, was forced to leave everything behind to seek safety in Pakistan.
